Abattoir (song)
"Abattoir" is the name of a single by German industrial music band X Marks the Pedwalk. It was released by Zoth Ommog in Europe in LP and CD format.
The song Abattoir is sometimes credited as "Abbatoir" on subsequent compilations. The former is the correct spelling, and is French for "slaughterhouse".
Summary
Abattoir is the name of the third single by X Marks the Pedwalk (the fourth overall by the duo André Schmechta and Jörg Böhme), and is the first single by this band to be taken from an album (Freaks, which followed shortly after). The 12" vinyl version of Abattoir contained only two tracks, Abattoir and Solitude, and was released in Europe by Zoth Ommog records under the catalogue number ZOT 15. The CD version, however, contained two more tracks (Abortion and Look on this Side), and was also released by Zoth Ommog, this time with the catalogue number ZOT 15 CD. After these releases went out of print, the songs would again be released by Zoth Ommog on their best-of X Marks the Pedwalk compilation, Airbacktrax, which featured all four songs plus a new remix of Abattoir. This compilation was licensed to and released in the United States by Cleopatra Records, who changed the name Airbacktrax to Abattoir. The song Abattoir later found its way onto the compilations Retrospective and Experiences, the former also contained "Look on this Side".
